cannot_cross_water 's review for:
this book weaves the life story of a native american medicine man, who lived during the awful atrocities of the settlers at the end of the 19th century US. It's a unique look into a lifetime filled with shamanic visions, pain, joys, injustice and deep, grounded wisdom. It carries a message for the whole humanity, very relevant in the current times of disconnect from the nature and community. It forces upon us the responsibility for our past and future.
The only problem I had is that the author poetized the plain transcript to fit the style of the era - it doesn't do much harm to the wise insights of Black Elk, but keep in mind it's partially a fiction tale you're reading and the book is not very transparent about that, thus one star down.
